Amazing variety of new and used vinyl, and well priced. Knowledgeable staff and very friendly. Easy to get to and easy to find parking.
Friendly, educated staff, can find anything youre looking for. Over all a very great record store with a nice selection. Would definitely recommend
Had the best visit ever at this record store! I took my nephew there to look for a record player and maybe a few albums. The owner was on site and directed us to a player and speakers appropriate for a new enthusiast and decently priced. Frankly if I didnt already have one, I would go back and get the same one for me. We definitely found some great music while we were there. Fun selection of new and REALLY fun selection of used albums. I honestly was suprised at how mint condition the previously used albums were. I definitely recommend checking them out. Plus bonus - supporting a local business!
Popped in only 15 minutes before closing and found two great records with time to spare! Looking forward to re-visiting the amazing selection with a little more time.
Mill City is a great place to find an incredible selection of new and used records including some of those truly hard to find selections. They also sell record players and related gear for those looking to get started or someone looking to step up to something a little better than what they have. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and theres a parking ramp right behind the store for convenience. Since its in down town Hopkins theres plenty of places in a short walk for food, beverage and entertainment so make a day of it. After all, you could spend hours just looking through Mill City Sound.
This record store is really, really great. One of those shops on your list for regular visits for digging. From the store layout, to the isle spacing and comfortability etc. The selection is really diverse. I found multiple things here on my visit, and I have a huge collection which is missing a few HTF LPs. Found one here! Prices are very fair and competitive, no price gouging here. Staff is great. I will be back here as often as I can. As a serious vinyl collector, take my word for it, no matter what your listening taste, you will find vinyl here! Came in from out of state, and ashamed to say Ive never been in before.
Great selection of both new and used records. Staff is always friendly and helpful!
I just went inside, and I was blown away. I browsed through the store collection and I was impressed with the variety. Then one of the employees approached me giving me some amazing artist and album recommendations. Me and the employee had an excellent conversation while I was picking out some albums. Finally, I left with five legendary albums for a $20 bargain I will be absolutely coming back to this place, it truly felt like an amazing candy store for music lovers
One of the best selections of used vinyl in the cities! I can always find something to add to my collection. I wish they had a want list and they could notify you when something comes in.
Awesome selection of vinyl. The bargain bin is where I always start. Great buys! Then I move upstairs to the featured lps. That is the best selection of rare and hard to find records o have ever seen. If youre looking for a specific band, they have it.
Very good selection and nice staff
Lots of good old vinyl. Found a c. 1990s album from a local band and an import CD of about the same vintage.
Great shop! Everything is really well organized, the shop is really clean, and theyve got some real gems if youre into digging. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.If youre looking for COVID safety, they have you covered. Masks (proper usage!) are enforced, and the store is big enough that you dont have to wait outside while others browse.This is definitely going to be a regular stop for me.
These people are so friendly and helpful when you want it. They diagnosed my turntable and sold me a cartridge. They have turntables for sale, and they have the greatest selection of used and new cds and LPs. Good parking and access in the back, also.
This is a good record store in the west metro, its got a good selection of imports, new and used. Anywhere that has a vinyl vault is gonna be cool.
Maybe a good place to buy, but not to sell. Waste of time.
I was able to call ahead and check if they had the album I needed, and they set it aside for me to make sure Id be able to get it! Fun environment and friendly staff. Id definitely visit again.
Repeat customer. I travel 40 miles just to make a visit. Great selection at very fair prices. Vintage records are always clean out of the sleeve which makes inspection easy.
Love mill city! They have old and new vinyl and cds. Prices are perfect too
The best record store I’ve ever been to. They have every title you can imagine for any taste of music. I am a customer for life.
Out of all of the record stores Ive been to, this is my favorite one! Really good selection of records and cds, with decent prices which you dont seem to see around anymore. I love that they have a place where you can listen to a record in the basement area, really love that idea. They have $.99 boxes with cds, and surprisingly it has a good selection of cds.
Great store, great selection, great prices. Staff is helpful and friendly, as well. Will definitely return when Im back in Minnesota.
Bright, clean and well organized store. Very helpful and friendly staff as well. It appears they clean all their used stock before putting it out for sale which is a huge plus. If you are used to shopping for records at the Cheapos of the world you should check these folks out instead.
I bought an affordable record player and got to look through a huge collection of records. Old and new. Some records I wouldnt assume they would have. Great find. I will be going back. Its nice to have a local record store to go to and enjoy. Its a little time machine.
Appreciate the large R&B/Soul and Soundtrack sections, a one-stop shop for vinyl purists.
Picked up a lovely Bethoven violin concerto🐛🧊🎶🎵🎧🎻
If youre into vinyl this is the place to go. Especially if youre having trouble with a turntable!!!
Outstanding! Our Christmas Eve trip was successful due to the gracious help of the proprietor, who politely and helpfully searched for our list and then walked us to each find.
Great selection and customer service. A nice clean shop.
Mill City Sound is a great addition to the area recording stores. Not much for a new or used CD selection but they have new and used vinyl well covered. Depending upon your interest make sure to look downstairs at the vinyl there. If youre willing to dig, gems can be found at a reasonable price. If you are just starting in vinyl they have a small selection of reasonably priced turntables tested and ready to take home and plug in. Cool books and other memorabilia. They are well worth the trip out to the western suburb and downtown Hopkins has its own charm to go with.
Was pleasantly surprised with how many new vinyls they have. Just wish they had a bit more of a modern selection with new artists like Juice WRLD and XXX. A lot of older artists here and if you are into that, then good on ya, youll find it here
Fantastic selection, and great staff.
Great place for surprisingly rare vinyl at great prices. A lot of SEALED records!
Theres a lot of competition in the Twin Cities for the best record store, and Im glad we have all that we do. For my money, though, Mill City Sound is the top - amazing selection of old and new LPs and CDs from all eras and genres, prices that are MORE than fair for even the high-end stuff, and a staff that is nice, knowledgable and not snobby.
Rob was sooooo nice and knowledgeable!!! I sold a few records to them, which I wasnt sure theyd even buy, and got a very reasonable amount for them!!! Love the total experience here and GREAT customer service all around!!!
I decided to purchase a turntable for my dad for fathers day add hes been looking for one for awhile now. I was recommended by my nephew and I can say Ive never had such an easy process of buying online and going to the store to pick it up and finding some great records for my dad, just the nicest people you will ever meet!!!! They even setup the player for my dad which was even better for me lol! 80 years and going strong he deserves it!
Mill City Sound is the best record store in the Twin Cities. I wish I lived closer so I could go there more often.
Very helpful. They set me up with a new combo cartridge to get my inherited turntable up and running. It rarely happens, but their cost for my item was lower than Amazon. Look forward to returning to purchase some records.
Great store! Amazing selection of new and used vinyl
If youre ito vinyl records, this place has a great selection.
This is hands down the best record store I have been to! There is always something to find here and the prices are great. I always look foreword to coming here!
Nice vinyl store
Cool place.
Great place for records. They have a huge selection of several genres of music.
Best record store in the state!! Also in a great location for food or checking out vinyl at the other collector shops on the street. I usually find more than enough at Mill City to even bother going anywhere else. Staff is also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.
Friendly and helpful staff. Cool vibe. Good prices. Good selection. Hope this store stays for many more years.
The place to go for all things Vinyl!!
I wish I lived in the area. What a great place to buy or sell vinyl records or get a turntable.The buyer gave me a very fair price for some albums that I just dont listen to anymore.
My favorite place to spend my money. Incredibly curated selection of genuine hits. Something for everyone and the staff are amazingly friendly and noligable!
Wonderful record shop. Friendly staff, no pressure, terrific selection. Clean. Convenient location. Easy parking on street. I got loads of Christmas presents here and felt great giving vinyl as a gift. ♥️
Great selection of new and used records--great deals on used equipment as well. I have sold records there 3 times and have always gotten a fair deal.
Sold some vinyl here and Rob carefully looked through my collection and paid me a fair price. It was an outstanding experience! Highly recommend!
They have it all musically, plus gift cards
Best. Record. Store.Great staff who are helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Clean store and well organized layout.Although I love to browse, I have called first to see if they have what Im looking for...if they do, they hold it for me. Nice.A true gift for LP lovers!
Great place, excellent atmosphere. I never fail to find something to add to my collection here.
Every time I come here theres something insanely cool I cant afford and it breaks my heart. This last time it was a first press of Horse Rotorvator by Coil. Best selection of used vinyl in the cities. Prices are also pretty good (used to be better but thats just how it always goes isnt it?). Luckily my parents live in Hopkins so I often have an excuse to stop in.
Love Mill City Sound. Great selection, clean facility.
My favorite record store!
Good selection of used/new records at a good price... BUT! I am really disappointed with how I was just treated by the employees when trying to sell records. Just tried to bring in some used records to sell and was turned away because the “buyer” wasn’t there... which would be fine if the staff wasn’t so rude about it. The man said “let me see if he would be interested” then looks at the first record and says “definitely no”. Then proceeded to spew off times when the buyer would be there. There website is misleading, stating “we don’t cherrypick”. Looks like I am going to be bringing my business elsewhere...
Oh my god best vinyl store Ive been in so far. I just wish I lived closer. This place has so many records used and new. You cant ever run out of stuff to listen to if you shop here. Once again they charge retail prices for all the new stuff but my god there used vinyl section is second to none. I love it here.
Cool place to pickup some albums,
Wonderful record store. They always have good music going through their sound system, which, to me, is always a good sign. They have a nice selection of vinyl with many new arrivals for used records coming in daily. The store is very well organized. They have a good selection of CDs as well. They recently added a bargain area in their basement with plenty of fun gems to find.
What an amazing spot to go for music! Classic vibe to the place makes you want to look through the stacks for hours. Friendly staff and a great selection of new and used vinyl. Give them a chance to earn your business, you will not be disappointed!
Awesome place. Got a great deal on a great starter system. Really helpful and friendly service, and an incredible record selection. I will be back. Thanks guys!
The BEST record store!! Super organized, clean. New and old. Rick, Country, Jazz, everything you can think of. Awesome staff. It doesnt get better than this!
My fave Brick & Mortar record store in the Twin Cities.Great selection of new & used!!
What a cool place to shop! Thanks for your help. Great store and friendly staff. Well be back!
This place was a blast today, first time visitor. Recommended to me be a local audiophile... Brought a couple treasures home and they both were spotlessly clean and played sweet.
Stopped by for a new cart for my new turntable and the owner of the joint installed it and aligned it, all while chatting me up. Cost less than I was planning, so I was able to grab a clutch of new to me records. This will be a new regular stop for me!
Always a good time. Great staff, selection, and store. One of the best record stores in area and rarely crowded.
Great atmosphere. Good collection of classics and new music. Found the sum 41 album my fiance was looking for.
Cool record/head shop with a solid selection of new and used vinyl. An impressive selection of used classical vinyl is my personal high point, with the only noticeable drawback being a lack of customer-accessible turntables for record evaluation (its very hard for me to spend money without knowing what Im getting). Friendly staff and good atmosphere.
This store is amazing. The staff is very helpful and friendly, large diverse selection of new and used vinyl. Store is also clean and well lit allowing you to clearly inspect the records.
Mill City Sound has a great selection of new and used records with a CD section too. Also, the staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I bought my first turntable here and they balanced/set up the turntable while teaching me all about how it works. They also have a great membership program there. Ask them about it when you go in.
Super store in Hopkins. They have a great selection of vinyl and cds, and excellent prices. Found some music I hadnt seen in a very long time - I will definitely be back!
Visiting from Milwaukee. One of the best record stores Ive been to. Friendly staff, great selection and prices. Definitely a stop next time Im in town.
Love this store! Nice folks working there, too.
One of my favorite record stores in the Minneapolis area. Huge selection and theyre always bringing in new stuff. I never leave empty handed.
Easily the best record store youll find in the metro area. Always has excellent selection at a good price with knowledgeable staff.
Got to sell my dads old records. Guy needs a new system to go thru records and extra help on the weekends.Loved the selection of stuff there though.
Inviting space with friendly staff and very large selection of records. Unfortunately too large to have everything labeled as Rock. I would like to see a dedicated Metal section. There’s no way I have the time to browse all the racks to hunt for what I want. Dedicated Metal section would be a huge improvement.
Hands down best record store Ive ever been to! Ive traveled all over the work looking at different vinyl stores and this is the one. Best prices and best obscure 80s. Im going to fly out next time just for this! Oh and special thanks to Chandra that let me stay a few after to browse. 😊
Found many records I had as a teen. Good condition, reasonably priced. Huge selection.
I just cant say enough good about this store, their selection of used vinyl is incredible and always it great condition. Seems like I always get into a good conversation with Rob about some of my selections and I always learn allot. Today I got into a conversation with another employee also and was really enjoying the music they were playing. It is always a very satisfying experience shopping there and I only wish my retired person budget afforded more frequent visits.
The best one in town
Mill City Sound is quite easily one of the most comprehensively curated record shops Ive ever visited. Their selection is staggering.
Had some time before our movie started, so my son and I went out on Main Street to kill some time. Had no idea this place was here. What a great store! The atmosphere is pretty cool with sweet jams playing in the background. Makes me want to buy a record player. A+
My favorite record store. All the employees are passionate and want to help you find what youre looking for. Great selection and variety. I purchased my first turntable here, and they greatly helped me during the whole process!
Didnt have the new album I was looking for but they were happy to order it and it was there next time I came in. Great customer service!
Awesome place! Well organized, well stocked, amazing selection in both new and used records, prices are reasonable enough but if you dig close enough you’ll find a steal or two. The wall is always full of amazing must have and even rare records. They also have a healthy stock of box sets. If you follow their IG page they post videos on Friday’s with breathtakingly essential recent arrivals.
One of my favorite store in Mnnesota. Great selection of new and used. Live the place
Great place to find new and used music!
I love this record store! Its located right on Mainstreet in Hopkins. Weve had no problems finding street parking the numerous times weve gone. There does seem to be a lot behind the building, and there is a back door to enter as well. I dont know if there is parking for the store though. The selection of records, new and used is substantial, and they have a basement that you dont want to miss out looking around for something to add to your collection. They have a members program, Im not clear yet what all the befits are, but I think there is a percentage off some things possibly. The staff is delightful and helpful with questions. Definitely recommend Mill City!
Cool record store! Little spendy on some of the stuff tho. Great selection!! Will be going back there again!
Mill City Sound is a gem! Giant and well curated selection of vinyl. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Might be the best record store in the Twin Cities?
Great record selection of both old and new! Super knowledgeable staff. Parking can be tough. Found quite a few gems at this spot!
Great selection of new and used vinyl- even a few turntables. Staff is always helpful and friendly. Love it!
Fantastic shop win a huge inventory of both new and classic vinyl. I only had an hour, but needed three! The staff put me right on what I was looking for and the conversations made my day. So happy to have found this place. Ill be back for sure.
Awesome record store, huge selection and fair prices. Havent bought any hardware yet but theyve been super helpful and even walked me through a repair step on the phone when I had asked a question earlier in the day about how to fix something on my old console. And they always have awesome tunes pumping in the store. This record store gets 11/10 stars becuase ten just isnt high enough!
I love stopping in once in while and picking up a few records
